    This case report details a child with amebic colitis and liver abscess, who also developed hepatitis A. It highlights the importance of considering hepatitis A in patients with unexplained liver enzyme elevations.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Amebic colitis and liver abscess are common parasitic infections.
    • Hepatitis A is a viral infection primarily affecting the liver.
    • Co-infection with Entamoeba histolytica and Hepatitis A virus is rare.

    Observation:

    • A pediatric case presenting with amebic colitis, liver abscess, and hepatitis A is described.
    • The diagnosis of hepatitis A was initially missed.
    • Hepatitis A was suspected only after healthcare providers developed clinical hepatitis.

    Findings:

    • The report discusses the infrequent association between these two distinct infectious agents.
    • It emphasizes the diagnostic challenge in co-infections.
    • Physician-acquired hepatitis A served as a crucial diagnostic clue.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for hepatitis A in pediatric patients with unexplained liver enzyme elevations, even with concurrent parasitic infections.
    • This case underscores the need for vigilance in diagnosing hepatitis A in complex clinical scenarios.
    • Understanding the rare co-occurrence of amebic liver disease and hepatitis A can improve diagnostic strategies.
